CVE-2013-3632 is a vulnerability in the Cron service implemented in rpc.php in OpenMediaVault. The flaw allows remote authenticated users to execute cron jobs as arbitrary users by manipulating the username parameter. This can be further exploited to execute arbitrary commands on the system with the privileges of the specified user.

This repository contains a single Metasploit module (openmediavault_auth_cron_rce.rb) that exploits an authenticated remote code execution vulnerability (CVE-2013-3632) in OpenMediaVault, a popular NAS operating system. The exploit leverages the ability of authenticated users to create cron jobs as root via the web application's rpc.php endpoint. By sending crafted POST requests, an attacker can schedule and execute arbitrary commands as root, leading to full system compromise. The module supports both command execution and staged payloads (such as reverse shells or Meterpreter sessions), and is weaponized for use within the Metasploit framework. The exploit requires valid OpenMediaVault credentials and network access to the web interface. The code is well-structured, with clear separation of authentication, version checking, and exploitation logic. The main fingerprintable endpoint is the /rpc.php path of the OpenMediaVault web application.
